In this paper, design and performance evaluation of Tapered Slot Antenna for IR-UWB which propagates impulse radio is performed. TSA which has directional characteristic in UWB band should have low radiation loss and minimized impulse radiation distortion. In order to achieve these objectives, the paper designed wide band Impedance transformer and microstrip-slotline transit region structured TSA feeder line. By using the fabricated TSA, the radiation pattern was measured in the radio anechoic chamber. Pulse fidelity and distortion equation was induced to evaluate time domain characteristics according to the impulse radiation. Pulse fidelity of Impulse radiation show favorable results more than 93% within ${\pm}30^{\circ}$ beam width.

Dual-band microstrip antenna is designed for industrial-scientific-medical(ISM) band of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz using finite-difference time-domain method(FDTD). Cross patch 130 by aperture in the ground plane of microstrip line is proposed as radiation element of antenna which is 2 rectangular patch is overlapped. To design antenna, change of input impedance is examined by length change of aperture and stub. And center frequency and - 10 dB bandwidth are investigated by change of length and width in radiation element. Measured result about reflection loss confirm that agree well with simulation results of FDTD and IE3D. And 3 dB beam width, front to back ratio and maximum gain is presented by measuring radiation pattern of antenna in frequency 2.43 GHz and 5.79 GHz.

The X-band 10${\times}$10 waveguide slot array antenna for SAR is designed, fabricated and measured. The array antenna is designed using the equivalent circuit model based on the field distribution of the dominant mode, TE$\sub$10/, and EM simulation. The method to decide optimum angle of the centered inclined slot(coupling slot) and the optimum of offset of the longitudinal slot(radiating slot) is provided. The designed antenna structure is EM simulated and fabricated. The measured return loss bandwidth is 180 MHz at 9.15 GHz , the side lobe level is below -25 dB, HPBW is about 9$^{\circ}$, and the gain is 25.5 dB. These results are similar to the simulation data.

In this paper, design of UWB Antenna which propagate impulse by pulse fidelity and distortion equation was induced and applied. UWB Antenna which has directional characteristic in UWB band should have low radiation loss and impulse radiation distortion. As a result, the paper designed wide band impedance transformer and microstrip slotline transit region structured antenna feeder line. By using the fabricated UWB antenna, the radiation pattern was measured in the radio anechoic chamber. Pulse fidelity of impulse radiation show good results more than 93% within ${\pm}30^{\circ}$ beam width.

수중음향 시스템에서는 빔형성(Beamforming) 기법을 이용하여 목표물로부터 신호를 수신하고 이에 대한 정보를 얻어낼 수 있는데, 이러한 빔형성에 있어서 주엽(Mainlobe)의 빔폭(Beamwidth)과 부엽(Sidelobe)의 크기(Level)를 설계자가 목표하는 값에 최적화 시킬 수 있는 방법을 찾는 것이 무엇보다도 중요하다 최근 연구된 빔형성 기법의 대표적인 결과 중 하나로는 Phi1ip의 Weighting Function Method를 들 수 있다. 이러한 Phi1ip의 방법은 목표 주엽폭과 부엽 준위를 정하고 이를 적응필터 설계방식과 유사하게 적응시켜 나가는 과정을 이용한다. 그러나 이 방법은 주엽폭과 부엽 준위간의 상관관계로 인해서 원하는 부엽준위에 다다르지 못하거나 결과값을 얻는데 상당한 시간이 소요되는 경우가 자주 발생하는데, 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 부엽 준위에 미치지 못하는 일부에 대하여 부분 최적화를 시켜 비교적 쉽게 설계를 만족시키는 새로운 알고리듬을 제안하고자 한다.

In this research, we have analyzed the trend of radiation pattern variation in relation to the change of design variables such as source interval and source number for conformal array transducers arranged in equi-angle, equi-interval, and geodesic dome forms. Through statistical multiple regression analysis of the results, we derived functional forms of the side lobe level and the beamwidth in terms of the design variables. Futhermore, the structure of the array transducer was optimized to achieve the smallest side lobe level while satisfying the requirements on beam width by the GA (genetic algorithm) method. Based on the optimized results, we have determined the equi-interval form as the optimal array geometry among the three conformal array geometries.

Conventional beamforming is ineffective in producing directional information in system with sparse degree of the freedom such as DIFAR (DIrectional Frequency Analysis and Recording) sonobuoy and in the presence of high directional noise. In this paper, Adaptive beamforming techniques are applied to produce directional spectra from a small number of sensors in highly directional noise environment. Conventional method as well as minimum variance and eigenvectors as adaptive method are evaluated via numerical test and real data.

We have studied the effect of channel and/or spacing chirpings on the near field and near field intensity patterns, modal gains and radiation angles of 6 supermodes in the index-guided laser arrays with 6 channels, on the basis of the coupled mode theory. The spacings between channels can be indenpendent parameters for control of the radiation angle. It is found that an asymmetrically v channel-chirped array has both a smaller radiation angle and better supermode discrimination characteristics than a uniform array. Comparing two approaches for enhancing modal stability in point of supermode discrimination characteristics, approach I which increases the coupling cofficient between the outer-most waveguides at each end of an otherwise uniform array, has superior discrimination characteristics to the approach II which increases the propagation constant for the end elements with the same coupling between neighbor elements. Approach III which has a narrower spacing between the outer-most waveguides at one end and a wider channel width of the outer-most waveguide at another end, gets a narrower radiation angle than the approach I and good supermode discrimination characteristics by applying optimized gain profiles.
